Although digressive discourse constitutes a key feature of Greco-Roman historiography, we possess no collective volume on the matter. The chapters of this book fill this gap by offering an overall view of the use of digressions in Greco-Roman historical prose from its beginning in the 5th century BCE up to the Imperial Era. Ancient historiographers traditionally took as digressions the cases in which they interrupted their focused chronological narration. Such cases include lengthy geographical descriptions, prolepses or analepses, and authorial comments. Ancient historiographers rarely deign to interrupt their narration's main storyline with excursuses which are flagrantly disconnected from it. Instead, they often "coat" their digressions with distinctive patterns of their own thinking, thus rendering them ideological and thematic milestones within an entire work. Furthermore, digressions may constitute pivotal points in the very structure of ancient historical narratives, while ancient historians also use excursuses to establish a dialogue with their readers and to activate them in various ways. All these aspects of digressions in Greco-Roman historiography are studied in detail in the chapters of this volume.

"Digression is a crucial motif in literary narratives. It features as a key characteristic of fictional works from Cervantes and Sterne, to Proust, Joyce and Calvino. Moving away from a linear narrative and following a path of associations reflects how we think and speak. Yet an author's inability to stick to the point has often been seen to detract from a work of literature, somehow weakening it. This wide-ranging and timely volume seeks to celebrate narrative digressions and move towards a theoretical framework for studying the meanderings of literary texts as a useful and valuable aspect of literature. Essays discussing some of the possibilities for approaching narrative digression from a theoretical perspective are complemented with focused studies of European and American authors. As a whole, the book offers a broad and varied view of textual wanderings."

The Art of Digression: A Fragmented Memoir, is a nonfiction work in both prose and poetry about a place, a family, and one individual. Short and to the point, the "fragments" relate events and experiences from ranging from prehistory to the present. Overall they express the point of view of the narrator, a strong, determined woman who admires and accepts the positive qualities, i.e., the work ethic, of her rural antecedents as they survive the dust bowl, poverty, isolation and World War II. But she also struggles to overcome and overturn the negative aspects of that culture. Especially, the unequal treatment of women. The stories range from sad and poignant to blunt, honest and humorous as she takes us with her through the losses and triumphs of her childhood, adulthood, and into her old age where as she contemplates her own death and celebrates her gay marriage. These are bold stories told in a brassy voice.
